@Randomness@A5G Your character is good to go. I think we can start the IC soon-ish


Your character is good to go!

As per our conversation in discord, your character has been approved, but if there is a consensus that mandates your character to have cooldowns on her skill, I hope you don't mind if we implement some.

Anyway, Welcome!
The Black Knight returns



Same with Carnathia, since your character has already been evaluated in the previous campaign, he can join in. Approved and welcome back!
Name:『 Ludvig Morsanqvist 』
Think of the V's as more of a W.


Approved after evaluation in Discord. GMPC or No GMPC by the way?
Tentative interest, not sure on what sort of character I'd bring, will mull it over and get back to you.


Understood, no rush, it will be a while until we get the campaign started.
@Randomguy
Since you are reusing Carnathia, evaluation is unnecessary. Approved!

Ohh her applications reeks of ulterior motives, typical of Westernant Goverment. Surely our Case officer would have a field day

Anyway, which option do you choose? GMPC or no GMPC?


If the game gains enough interest, and we are ready to start the mission, there is something that players need to decide. It is the way the game is played from GM's perspective. There are two ways, each with its pros and cons.

1. Playthrough with essential NPC
GM controls a character that serves as the designated team leader. They have their own background, motives, and interests. Generally, They give your character orders, and although it is not mandatory, your character answers to them.

Pros:
-More focused campaign
-Reliable pointer, easier campaign
-The first person to blame if something goes wrong
-A powerful ally

Cons:
-The game would feel railroaded
-Additional boss

2. Playthrough without essential NPC
The GM only acts as dungeon master handing out clues and pointers. However to keep the game progression remain focused on the mission, players should elect one player to be a team leader. This team leader would be the one holding the communication device and deciding how they conduct their investigation.

Pros
-Grants more Freedom
-Free of conflict of interest from the GM
-Freedom
-Team leader get some privilege
-Likely more natural interaction

Cons
-When things go south, it is your fault
-Team Leader character needs a relevant background and more tailoring
-More hassle

So, which one do you choose?
